The executive summary reads like it was written by RR
Let’s be careful to specify ORIGINAL report -remember, the “unredacted” report currently in the picture is the same prepared + modified by RR, only without the additional redactions.
DO WE KNOW whether this is ‘redacted’? We want the full report and all changes, as requested by reps.
Circumstantial evidence is good enough to convict you or me, but when it comes to finding wroing by the government, they have to leave solid tracks in black and white.
Time for another revolution.
Complete whitewash. The recommendations...BS
II. Recommendations
For these reasons, and as more fully described in previous chapters, we recommend the following:
1. The Department and the FBI consider developing practice guidance that would assist investigators and prosecutors in identifying the general risks with and alternatives to permitting a witness to attend a voluntary interview of another witness, in particular when the witness is serving as counsel for the other witness.
2. The Department consider making explicit that, except in situations where the law requires or permits disclosure, an investigating agency cannot publicly announce its recommended charging decision prior to consulting with the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, or his or her designee, and cannot proceed without the approval of one of these officials.
3. The Department and the FBI consider adopting a policy addressing the appropriateness of Department employees discussing the conduct of uncharged individuals in public statements.
4. The Department consider providing guidance to agents and prosecutors concerning the taking of overt investigative steps, indictments, public announcements, or other actions that could impact an election.
5. The Office of the Deputy Attorney General consider taking steps to improve the retention and monitoring of text messages Departmentwide.
6. The FBI add a warning banner to all of the FBIs mobile phones and mobile devices in order to further notify users that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
7. The FBI consider (a) assessing whether it has provided adequate training to employees about the proper use of text messages and instant messages, including any related discovery obligations, and (b) providing additional guidance about the allowable uses of FBI devices for any non-governmental purpose, including guidance about the use of FBI devices for political conversations
8. The FBI consider whether (a) it is appropriately educating employees about both its media contact policy and the Departments ethics rules pertaining to the acceptance of gifts, and (b) its disciplinary provisions and penalties are sufficient to deter such improper conduct.
9. Department ethics officials consider implementing a review of campaign donations when Department employees or their spouses run for public office.
Q
Finally hit me what I thought looked strange at the first handshake between Trump & Kim at the summit.
WHY were there no gold braids on the American Flags.
Trump has always been particular about how they drop down the front of the flag.
Any thoughts?
Typical recommendation..”.consider” changes vs “will make changes”
No required changes....
Maybe this version is not worth the trouble to report on.
What do you guys think? Wait til the Original is out?
Thanks!
the gold tassels are ceremonial - may be appropriate later at some time but not there + then ;)
I agree - it’s fairly obvious to interpretation - anyone can take the time to read it - let’s just post responses from
KNOWN GOOD GUYS as to what they intent to do!!
This looks like a [RR] apologia....
stand down, diligent freeqs!

We were deeply troubled by text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations. Most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation, which was not a part of this review. Nonetheless, when one senior FBI official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, Page, that "we'll stop" candidate Trump from being elected--after other extensive text messages between the two disparaging candidate Trump--it is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a420
willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate's electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice. Moreover, as we describe in Chapter Nine, in assessing Strzok's decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop in October 2016, these text messages led us to conclude that we did not have confidence that Strzok's decision was free from bias.
I’ve read the #3.
I can wait.
It’s all just a frikkin’ whitewash. All problems can be solved by more training and more splash screens to remind agents that they have no expectation of privacy when using organization devices.
Gah, our school board has more teeth!!!! What a f’n ripoff!
I wonder if the Navy has splashed the sub that launched the m1 missile at Alaska.
Anyone know?
See, e.g. Mark Meadows, Nunes and others. Plus we have the Grassley softball hearing coming up.
There is evidence of bias all over the place, then the OIG says "no evidence of bias." Shades of "Hillary did nothing wrong."
[Its all just a frikkin whitewash.]
NOT acceptable! We the People DEMAND Justice!
Everyone, sign the petition and let them know we want the truth!
